Great Santa Barbara Hotel

We booked two rooms and they had a wonderful view of the harbor. The rooms are updated and clean. The bathrooms are a little outdated, but were fine. The receptionist was friendly and professional. They have wine and cheese from 4-5pm in the lobby. They provide breakfast as well. We enjoyed our overnight stay and would stay again.

This place is lovely. Very clean, friendly staff, happy hour in the afternoon and a full breakfast in the morning. It’s a little dated in the bathrooms especially however, well cared for and an excellent value. Great walkability as well.

Not worth it.

Expectations not met. Run down room. Only one Tesla charger and doesn’t even work. Door in room was kicked in and barely locked. Poolside room was facing a staircase and not even the pool. Breakfast buffet was not breakfast-had chicken skewers and hot dogs. Not worth the price would’ve paid more at a different place for better amenities that were actually good.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My stay at Beachside Inn was disappointing due to repeated power outages—three times during my visit. The elevator was out of service, which made getting around very inconvenient. Additionally, the front desk staff was unresponsive and not helpful in addressing these issues. On a positive note, the breakfast options were good, but overall, the experience was frustrating. I would not recommend staying here unless these issues are resolved.
